Quite literally, as you inhale, the molecules from the essential oils through the \u2018aroma\u2019, &nbsp;begin to work on stress levels, cognitive performance and circulation \u2013 among other things. When receiving an aromatherapy massage, the masseuse or aromatherapist might typically light a few scented candles as well as massage you with essential oils. Some psychologists even utilise aromatherapy to create stress-free environments, while others\u2019 intentions are to trigger certain memories and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So where do you start? Since we\u2019re in the colder months, it might be a good idea to stock up on a few immune-boosting, chest-clearing oils, but I\u2019ll include a few versatile evergreen essential oils: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>(Remember: you MUST keep your oils in dark glass bottles, and away from direct sunlight otherwise they will degrade and lose their effectiveness)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please Note: Faithful to Nature is an online retail store.

If that\u2019s you, you\u2019re not wrong. Light a few chamomile candles if you want to create a very relaxing and soothing atmosphere. To make the most of the sleep-inducing oil, I recommend adding 5-10 drops to your bath (along with a carrier oil like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/soil-jojoba-carrier-oil\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">jojoba<\/span><\/a>) so you can slide from the tub and straight into bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/health\/aromatherapy\/essential-oils\/soil-eucalyptus-essential-oil\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Eucalyptus<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Mother\u2019s medicine cabinet was always stocked with this decongestant because I had asthma as a child which meant I was always phlegmy. Kick the flu in one night through steam inhalation (add a few drops of eucalyptus into boiling water, cover yourself in a towel and inhale the fumes) or by rubbing some directly onto your chest with a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/body-beauty\/aromatherapy\/carrier-oils\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">carrier oil<\/span><\/a>.<br>Some of you might not know this, but eucalyptus is a powerful antiseptic and pain-reliever too.

What I do religiously use sage for, however, is for balancing my hormones, and treat menstrual cramps. The essential oil balances thyroid levels and has been linked to improving depression too.
